carousel captions change height of website

[abc]

Hi team,

I have a one pager with a centered carousel, set to the full height of the viewport. Everything worked fine until I added captions to the image carousel. The more captions I add the longer the website gets, reaching lower than the viewport. Any idea how to fix this?

The bug occurs on all browsers, WP, Laytheme and Carousel are the latest version.

Thanks so much!

for example on this slide there is a caption.

so youre saying if you add many captions the website grows bigger vertically?

[arminunruh]

when you edit your caption you can select a slide then press the edit caption button. is this what ure doing?

in lay options →carousel addon

make sure, in the captions setting the "space top" setting is not set to a huge number

Thank you for your response!
Yup exactly, I added the captions like you described, Space Top is set to 40px.

I just added a few more captions and the website grew longer. By clicking on the "View typefaces in use" button on the center left you get to the subpage with the same layout without image captions. The two pages are identical, apart from the selection of images and one is without captions. I intend a layout like on the /type-in-use page.

no if i click this link i see this

[arminunruh]

can you send your website address, /wp-admin/ username and password and a link to this topic to info@laytheme.com?

i want to take a look at how you did the layout with the gridder

[abc]

Just did :)

[arminunruh]

so you can set your row height to:

100vh - 2vw

instead of 100vh - 20px

cause you have 1% space top and 1% space bottom, which in reality is 1vw top and 1vw bottom

so it seems that i coded sth to enlarge rows in case a position absolute element overflows it, but this calculation is wrong when a carousel initalizes, it seems to be much too large

anyways i excluded carousels from this calculation and now your website seems to look fine

your permalinks didnt work so i went to settings → permalinks and clicked save which refreshes the permalinks

it worked! thank you very much
